SUSPENDER-BUCKLEF SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0.700,828, dated May 27, 1902. Application filed March 1, 1902. Serial No.96,200. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, MAX RUBIN, a citizen of the United States, residingat the city of New York,borough of Manhattan ,county and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSuspender-Buckles, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improvedsuspender-buckle composed of a single piece of metal and which is strongand durable, can be easily adjusted, and need not be sewed to orattached in an analogous manner to the suspender-webbing.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of referenceindicate like parts in all the figures, Figure 1 is a face view of myimproved suspender-buckle. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on theline 2 2 of Fig.1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing how the buckle isapplied on the susponder.

The buckle is struck from a piece of sheet metal and is constructed withthe top and bottom bars A and B, the intermediate bar 0, midway betweenand parallel with the bars A and B, and the end bars D, which unite theends of the bars A, B, and O. 'The top and bottom bars A and B arecurved gtransversely, so that their outer faces will be more or lessconvex transversely, and the inner edge a of each of said bars isinclined inward and more or less toward the bar. 0. The intermediate bar0 is curved transversely in such a manner that its outer surface will beconcaved transversely, and along its edges this bar is provided withspurs E, which are preferably inclined more or less toward the top andbottom barsA and B. The intermediate bar is located back of the planethrough the bars A and B to such an extent that the edges a, of the barsA and B and the edges of the bar 0 will'be about in the same plane. Theends of the bar 0 are bent, as at b, to meet the end bars D. These endbars have their outer edges turned under the said bars to the rear, soas to furnish a neat and smooth rounded edge for grasping the buckle.

The free end F of the Suspender-webbing F is passed under the bars A andB and over the bar 0 from the top in such a manner that the inner faceof the webbing rests upon the bar (1, the free end of the webbing end Fbeing within the buckle. The webbing F, which passes through theelongated eye G of the suspender-end, is passed under the bars A and Band over that part of the webbing already in the buckle, as shown inFig. 4, thereby entirely covering and concealing the back of the buckle.

If the buckle is held by grasping the end bars D, the webbing F can bepulled in the direction of its length through the buckle or the bucklemoved on the webbing.

The end F is at all times held on the buckle.

The face of the webbing is always at the outjacent bars and having spurson its edges, the

said adjacent bars having their inner edges bent inward and toward theintermediate bar to form clamping edges, the spurs on the intermediatebar being inclined upward and outward and in the direction toward thefront face of the buckle, substantially as set forth.

2. A suspender-buckle constructed of a single piece of sheet metal andhaving the top and bottom bars A and B, the inner edges of which areinclined inward, the intermediate bar 0 in a plane behind that ofthebars A and B, and having spurs on its edges which spurs are inclinedupward and outwardtoward the face of the buckle and the end bars Dhaving their outer edges bent over-on the rear, substantially as setforth.

A and B,'and having spurs E which spurs are name to this specification,in the presence of 1 inclined upward and outward toward the face twosubscribing witnesses, this 24th day of of the buckle, the end bars Duniting the bars February, 1902.
